[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an activator of peroxisome proliferator activated
receptor δ.
[Background]
[0002] The peroxisome is a small organ present in cells of animals and plants, and its matrix
contains various enzymes such as catalases. Various compounds such as fibrates, herbicides,
and phthalic acid plasticizers are known as peroxisome proliferators which induce
proliferation of peroxisomes.
[0003] Isseman, et al. have identified a nuclear receptor which is activated by peroxisome
proliferator and called it peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR). ---
Nature, 347, p645-650, 1990.
[0004] Three subtypes such as PPARα, PPARγ and PPARδ have been identified. --- Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA, 91, p7335-7359, 1994.
[0005] The above-mentioned fibrates used as the serum triglyceride (TG) lowering drug can
modulates PPARδ activity. Further, thiazolidine compounds (Troglitazone, Rosiglitazone,
Pioglitazone) useful in the treatment of diabetes are also known as ligands of PPARγ.
[0007] WO 92/10468 describes that GW-2433 can be employable for prevention and treatment
of atherosclerosis.
[0008] WO 97/28115 describes that L-165041 can be employable for treatment of diabetes and
suppression of obesity.
[0009] WO 99/04815 describes that YM-16638 shows effects for reducing serum cholesterol
and reducing LDL cholesterol.
[0010] Recently, JBC, 272(6), p3406-3410, 1997 and Cell, 99, p335-345, 1999 describe proposal
for application of PPAR δ ligand as an anti-cancer agent and an anti-inflammatory
agent.
[0011] European Patent 558 062 describes the following compound A which has a structure
similar to that of the general formula (I) [mentioned below] representing a compound
of the invention:
[0012] J. Immunol. Methods, 207(1), 23-31, 1997 describes a compound B having the following
formula:
[0013] All of the compounds identified by the compound A, compound B and the general formula
(I) of the invention may be described as compounds of phenoxyacetic acid type. However,
there are clear structural differences between the compounds A, B and the compound
of the invention. For example, the phenoxy group of the compounds A, B has the propyl
group substituted with the oxazolyl group or the ethoxy group substituted with the
oxazolyl group, while the compound of the invention has the propionyl group substituted
with the oxazolyl group or the like. Further, the oxazole ring of the compounds A,
B has only one of the ethyl group or the phenyl group, while the compound of the invention
may have both of the groups.
[0014] In addition, while the above-mentioned EP 558 062 teaches that the compound A is
of value for treatment of hyperthrombinemia and as blood pressure depressant, no mention
is given with respect to an effect as PPARδ ligand.
[0015] Further, while the J. Immunol. Methods teaches the use of the compound B as blood
pressure depressant, there is no concrete description to teach that the compound is
effective as PPARδ ligand.
[0016] Recently, WO 01/40207 describes a substituted oxa(thia)zole derivative showing an
agonist action for PPARα, and WO 01/16120 describes an oxa(thia)zole derivative substituted
with a biaryl group which is employable as a PPAR controlling agent.
[0017] In comparison with the compounds of the invention, the compound of WO 01/40207 has
C(=O)NH as X and an alkylene chain bond as Y, and the compound of WO 01/16120 has
an alkylene chain as X and O, X or the like as Y. Accordingly, the structural difference
is clear.
[0018] Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.2001, Apr.24; 98(9): 5306-11, and WO01/00603 describe
that the following compound GW-501516 has a highly selective agonist action for PPARα.
[0019] There is a clear structural difference between the GW-501516 and the compound of
the invention, that is, GW-501516 has the methyl group as X of the present invention,
and S as Y.
[0020] Further, each of WO 02/14291 (Nippon Chemiphar Co., Ltd.) and WO 02/50048 (GLAXO)
discloses a compound having an agonist action of peroxisome proliferator activated
receptor. WO 02/50048 describes synthetic intermediates such as ethyl[2-methyl-4-(3-(4-methyl-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)
propanoyl)phenoxy] acetic acid, ethyl[2-methyl-4-((4-methyl-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)acetyl)phenoxy]acetic
acid, ethyl[4-(1-hydroxy-3-(4-methyl-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)
propyl) -2-methylphenoxy] acetic acid, ethyl [4-(1-hydroxy-2-(4-methyl-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)ethyl)-2-methylphenoxy]acetic
acid.
[0021] The present invention provides a compound having the below-mentioned general formula
(I) and a salt thereof, which has an agonist action (action as activator of peroxisome
proliferator activated receptor δ.

[0065] The pharmacological effects of the invention are described below.
[0066] The PPARδ activating effect of the compound of the invention was determined by the
following method:
[0067] A chimeric receptor expression plasmid (GAL4-hPPARδ LBD), a reporter plasmid (UASx4-TK-LUC)
and β-galactosidase (β-GAL) are transfected into CV-1 cells by utilizing a lipofection
reagent DMRIE-C (Life Technologies). Subsequently, it is incubated for 40 hours in
the presence of a compound of the invention or a compound for comparison (L-165041),
and then the luciferase activity and β-GAL activity are measured on the soluble cells.
[0068] The luciferase activity is calibrated by the β-GAL activity, and a relative ligand
activity is calculated under the condition that the luciferase activity of the cells
treated by L-165041 is set to 100%). In the same manner, relative ligand activities
to PPARδ and γ transactivation activities are calculated (see the below-mentioned
Examples 51, 52).
[0069] As seen from Tables 8, 9, the compounds of the invention (Examples 1-50) show an
excellent PPARδ activating effect.
[0070] As also seen from Example 53 (Table 10), the compounds of the invention (Examples
4 and 10) show an excellent effect of increasing HDL cholesterol.
[0071] Apparently, the compounds of the invention having the general formula (I) show excellent
PPARδ activating effect. Accordingly, these compounds are expected to serve as remedy
for prevention and treatment of the following diseases: hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia,
obesity, syndrome X, hyperchloresterolemia, hyperlipopreoteinemia, other dysbolismic
diseases, hiperlipemia, arterial sclerosis, diseases of cardiovascular systems, hyperphagia,
ischemic diseases, malignant tumors such as lung cancer, mammary cancer, colonic cancer,
cancer of great intestine, and ovary cancer, Alzheimer's disease, inflammatory disease,
osteoporosis (Mano H. et al., (2000) J. Biol. Chem., 175:8126-8132), Basedow's disease,
and adrenal cortical dystrophy.
[0072] The compound of the invention can be administered to human beings by ordinary administration
methods such as oral administration or parenteral administration.
[0073] The compound can be granulated in ordinary manners for the preparation of pharmaceuticals.
For instance, the compound can be processed to give pellets, granule, powder, capsule,
suspension, injection, suppository, and the like.
[0074] For the preparation of these pharmaceuticals, ordinary additives such as vehicles,
disintegrators, binders, lubricants, dyes, and diluents. As the vehicles, lactose,
D-mannitol, crystalline cellulose and glucose can be mentioned. Further, there can
be mentioned starch and carboxymethylcellulose calcium (CMC-Ca) as the disintegrators,
magnesium stearate and talc as the lubricants, and hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), gelatin

(Pharmacological experimetnt 1)
I. Method
(1) Measurement of PPARα, γ, δ transactivation activity
[0189] PPARα, γ, δ transactivation activity of each compound [Examples 1-8 and known PPARδ
agonist (L-16504: Berger, J., et al. (1999), J. Biol. Chem., 274:6718-6725)] was measured
in the manner described below.
1) Material
[0190] CV-1 cells were obtained from Tohoku University Aging Medical Laboratory, Medical
Cell Collection Center. All test compounds were dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).
Final concentration of DMSO was 0.1%.
2) Plasmid
[0191] Receptor expression plasmid (GAL4-hPPARα, LBD GAL4-hPPARγ LBD, GAL4-hPPARδ LBD),
Reporter plasmid (UASx4-TK-LUC), and β-galactosidase expression plasmid (βGAL) similar
to Kliewer, S.A., et al., ((1992) Nature, 358:771-774) were used.
3) Transfection
[0192] CV-1 cells were seeded in 24 well culture plates at 2x10
5 cells per well, and cultured for 24 hours OPTI-MEM I Reduced Serum Medium (Life Technologies,
500 µL/well) containing 4%-fetal bovine serum (FBS). After washing with OPTI-MEM,
transfection mixture (250 µL/well) containing 0.03 µg of GAL4-hPPARδ LBD, 0.25 µg
of UASx4-TK-LUC, 0.35 µg of βGAL, and 2 µL of lipofection reagent, DMRIE-C (Life Technologies)
were added. The cells were incubated for 5 hours at 37°C.
4) Cell treatment by addition of test compound
[0193] The cells were washed and incubated for 40 hours in the presence of the test compound
(final concentration was 10
-7M or 10
-6M).
5) Measurement of the level of reporter gene expression
[0194] The culture medium was removed and the cells were washed with PBS twice. A solubilizing
buffer (100 µL/well) containing 25 mM Tris-PO
4 (pH 7.8), 15%v/v glycerol, 2% CHAPS, 1% Lecithin, 1% BSA, 4 mM EGTA (pH 8.0), 8 mM
MgCl
2, 1 mM DTT was added. After the incubation for 10 minutes at room temperature, a portion
(20 µL) of the solution was transferred into a 96-well plate. Subsequently, 100 µL
of luciferase substrate solution (Piccagene: available from Nippon Gene Co., Ltd.)
was added, and a luminous intensity per one second (luciferase activity) was measured
using a microluminoreader (Type MLR-100, Corona Electrics Co., Ltd.). Each luciferase
activety was corrected by the transfection efficiency which was calculated from β-galactosidase
activity. The assay method of β-galactosidase activity was as follows: A portion (50
µL) of the solubilized sample was transferred into another 96-well plate; 100 µL of
ONPG (2-nitrophenyl-β-galactopyranoside) solution was added and incubated for 5 minutes
at room temperature. 50 µL of a reaction stopping solution (1M sodium carbonate solution)
was added. Then the absorbance at 414 nm was measured.
[0195] A relative PPAR activity was calculated as follows: 0% (luciferase activity of cells
treated with DMSO (0.1%) alone), 100% (luciferase activity of cells treated with a
control (PPARα: 10
-4 M WY-165041, PPARγ: 10
-5 M Rosiglitazone, PPARδ: 10
-4 M L-165041)).

[0206] It is clear from Table 9 that the compounds of Examples 9-50 have potent PPARδ transactivation
activities. It is also clear from Tables 8 & 9 that the compound of the formula (I)
wherein R
2 is methyl (Example 44) is inferior in the PPARδ transactivation activity to the other
compounds of the formula (I) wherein R
2 is ethyl (Example 47 etc.), isopropyl (Example 3 etc.), or hexyl (Example 11 etc.).
Therefore, the alkyl group of R
2 preferably has two or more carbon atoms.
(Example 53)
(Pharmacological experiment 2)
HDL cholesterol elevating effect
I. Method
[0207] HDL cholesterol elevating effect was measured by using db/db mice, which are hereditary
obesity mice. The db/db mice (10 weeks old) were divided into groups based on serum
HDL cholesterol levels. Each of the compounds of the present invention (compounds
synthesized in Examples 4 and 10) and GW-501516 was orally administered for one week
twice daily. Mice of the control group (to which no agent was administered) were orally
given 1% methyl cellulose solution. After 16 hours from the final administration,
blood sample was collected, and serum HDL cholesterol level was measured. HDL cholesterol
was separated by electrophoresis on agarose gels (Chol/Trig Combo, Helena Laboratories).
Serum total cholesterol levels were measured enzymaticallly using a kit (Pure Auto,
Daiichi Chemicals) by an automatic analyzer (7060E type, Hitachi Ltd.). HDL cholesterol
levels were calculated from total cholesterol levels and HDL cholesterol/total cholesterol
ratios.
II. Results
[0208] Serum HDL cholesterol levels of experiments groups are shown in Table 10. Each value
represents as % of the control group.
